    On this episode of Ron's Amazing Stories, we head west—way west—to the dusty Wyoming frontier with the Lux Radio Theater production of Shane. Originally aired on February 22, 1955, this broadcast stars Alan Ladd, who reprises his iconic role from the 1953 film of the same name. We'll take a look at the movie that redefined the western genre, talk about the incredible run of Lux Radio Theater, and explore why the 1950s were the golden age of cowboy storytelling. Along the way, we'll cover the film's massive box office success, its impact on the “adult western,” and even how Hollywood managed to make Alan Ladd look larger-than-life—despite being five-foot-six. And as a bonus, stick around after the main goodbye for a little extra cowboy wisdom and humor. Because when it comes to Shane, you never want to leave the campfire too early.

    Andrew Jones never set out to start a wine brand. What began as a side project to help him connect with vineyard clients has become Field Recordings — a 50,000-case winery with national distribution, strong retail partnerships, and 30% case growth projected in 2025.So what's fueling this momentum at a time when many California wineries are shrinking? Andrew has tapped into what Gen Z and Millennial consumers actually want: wines that are authentic, experimental, and fun. Think Skins, an orange wine that dominates its category; Freddo, a chillable red that's gaining prime shelf space in the cold box; and Fiction, a red blend built to be an everyday favorite. Together, these wines — plus a smart private-label strategy with Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and major restaurant groups — now drive nearly 70% of Field Recordings' production.In this conversation, Andrew shares how he's scaling differently by:Leaning into orange wine and chillable reds that resonate with younger drinkersDisrupting grocery wine sets by pushing unconventional SKUs into prime real estateUsing private-label deals as growth accelerators without cannibalizing his core brandRethinking distributor relationships with road trips, pool parties, and pop-ups that actually engage buyersBuilding a winery team of 16 with low turnover and high buy-inBalancing authenticity with scalability in an industry often stuck in traditionFor any drinks entrepreneur, this episode is a playbook on how to grow by connecting with the next generation of wine drinkers while still staying true to your roots.Last Call:What does the animal on a wine label say about quality and value?

    Is hormone replacement therapy safe or risky? If you've been 10+ years post-menopause, the myths can feel overwhelming. Dr. Tabatha Barber, a functional gynecologist, joins me on today's episode to tackle one of the most common and misunderstood topics in women's health: hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We're separating fact from fiction, answering the big questions about HRT safety, whether it's too late to start after 10-15 years post-menopause, and what other options exist for women who prefer not to go the HRT route. Dr. Tabatha breaks down the benefits and risks of HRT, explaining the role estrogen plays in bone health, as well as how bioidentical hormones differ from synthetic hormones. She also shares tips on how to handle common symptoms like vaginal dryness. If you're wondering about your options for hormone balance and want to know what's best for your body, this episode is for you!   “Let me help you understand your body and give it what it needs. You can't heal a body you hate—you have to love it, and then it will change." ~ Dr. Tabatha Barber   In this episode:  - [03:32] - Functional vs conventional care - [09:52] - Impact of HRT on women's health - [14:20] - Is HRT safe? - [20:53] - Vaginal estrogen risks and benefits - [27:50] - How long is it safe to be on HRT? - [30:35] - Are there tests needed before HRT? - [36:24] - Alternatives to HRT - [39:43] - How gut health affects overall health - [40:52] - Midlife Reset Summit overview - [43:16] - How to work with Dr. Tabatha   Resources mentioned - Midlife Reset Summit - https://midliferesetsummit.com/signup?am_id=margie3712  - Dr. Tabatha's website - https://drtabatha.com/ - Free Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures - tinyurl.com/osteoporosisexercises   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

    This week, I got to talk with L.S. Stratton about her newest thriller In Deadly Company! We dive into how she wanted to write a fun, bingey thriller, how she used the meta approach of a movie being made about the past timeline, and how she crafted the very corrupt, very welathy family in the middle of it all.In Deadly Company SynopsisAs the assistant of the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, Nicole Underwood has plenty of tasks on her to-do list—one of which is the blowout birthday celebration for her nightmare, one-percenter boss, Xander Chambers. But when the party ends in chaos and murder and Nicole is one of the survivors, suspicion—from the investigators to the media—lands on her. Was she the reason for all the bloodshed?A year after those deadly events, Nicole tries to set the public record straight by agreeing to consult on a feature film based on her story. However, on the set in LA, she's sidelined by inappropriate casting and persistent, bizarre script changes, while also haunted by the events of that party weekend with visions of her now-deceased boss. It seems clearing her name isn't so simple when the question of guilt or innocence is...complicated.

Whether that be in genres that ACOFAE is familiar with or in new genres with new authors, it's in the journey that fun is discovered. Such is ACOFAE's experience with Gaslamp Fantasy! A new genre with a new author- Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are riveted by the story of Adam and Ellie and their adventures through British Honduras. Set in the late 1800's Ellie is a suffragette who is educated and not afraid to speak her mind in a time when it's frowned upon to do so. After she discovers a secret map the adventure is on taking us on boats, boats, and more boats on our way to discover a lost city before the villains do. Add in a handsome and capable American surveyor who also happens to deeply care about preservation and stopping the looting and robbing of archaeological sites, and boom we have a love story too! Keeping things slightly spoiler free, ACOFAE encourages everyone to get lost with Adam and Ellie in this new adventure series that has captured ACOFAE's heart and mind. "Children?! Marriage!? Absolutely not."

    Nancy Sheed, host of HAYVN Hubcast talks with author Betsy Lerner, and she takes us from blue pencils and slush piles to BookTok and bestsellers. She shares how she moved from editorial roles at major houses to agenting for the flexibility publishing didn't offer at the time, and how that entrepreneurial leap paid off.  We get her “discoverability” playbook (from magazine racks on the streets of New York to TikTok), candid advice on today's path to publication, the backstory of Shred Sisters, and her refreshingly practical mindset on rejection: don't dwell on no, keep looking for the yes. Nancy's conversation with Betsy covers:  Breaking into publishing (then vs. now): The traditional path runs through a literary agent, and today, platform, credentials, or media access often matter (especially in nonfiction). Fiction still benefits from strong pedigree and publication credits. From editor to agent: Betsy left editorial for agenting to gain flexibility while raising a child. She brought authors she'd developed as an editor, pairing editorial instincts with a builder's mindset. Talent discovery, old-school and new: Pre-internet, she scoured magazine racks to spot compelling voices, famously writing to “Merlin” (Neil deGrasse Tyson) after seeing his cosmos cartoons. Today, she finds serious experts on TikTok and checks longer-form writing (e.g., Substack) to validate voice. TikTok is not just “kids dancing”: BookTok (and STEM talk) hosts passionate, informed communities that genuinely move book sales these days. Consistency and a clear “lane” matter; think of it as your own channel. Creating Shred Sisters: After an intensive nonfiction collaboration with Temple Grandin, Betsy unexpectedly drafted her novel over seven months during COVID, then spent two years revising. The story was fueled by profound personal losses and deepened bonds with her sisters. Thick skin required: Even as a well-known agent, Betsy got rejections on her novel and emphasizes not getting mired in the “no.” You only need the right “yes.” Connect with Betsy The Forest for the Trees: An Editors Advice to Writers Website TikTok Connect with Nancy LinkedIn  Instagram Website
